Abstract excerpt
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is an essential protein folding assistant of the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum that catalyzes both the formation of disulfides during protein folding (oxidase activity) and the isomerization of disulfides that may form incorrectly (isomerase activity). Catalysis of thiol-disulfide exchange by PDI is required for cell viability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but there has been...
